How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to provide our supporters with products, services and information resources requested by the individual concerned. This data is also used in administration, and to further our charitable aims and objectives, including fundraising. We may need to share personal information with third-party service providers to carry out these activities.

We will only use personal information in direct marketing activities if the law allows us to do so, and if we have been given consent by the owner of that information. Supporters can choose to “opt out” of these activities at any time by contacting us in writing at; The Manna House, 73 Boundary Brook Road, Iffley, Oxford OX4 4AL, ENGLAND, or by emailing admin@daisyfund.org.

Sharing Personal Information With Others

Generally, Daisy’s Eye Cancer Fund will not disclose any personally identifiable information, unless we have express permission, or we are required to do so by law (for example, when running a criminal records check for potential volunteers).

We may share personal information with our third party service providers for marketing purposes, and we will also use this information ourselves to contact you for marketing purposes. We never sell or rent personal information, and do not share information, except in the pursuit of our charitable aims. We may occasionally agree with mutually aligned organisations to contact one another’s supporters, when there is a clear potential benefit to all parties.

Giving Consent

When an individual chooses to submit information to Daisy’s Eye Cancer Fund, they are giving their consent to that information being used in the process of meeting their requests.

Consent is also then given for us to transfer such information, if required by us, to countries outside the UK, which may not operate equivalent high level data protection programs. Where appropriate, we will require the third-party to enter into a contract with us to ensure continued protection of personal information.

Supporters are invited to agree to or decline receipt of further information about our work. Where consent is given, we may communicate by email or regular mail. Further information may include direct mailings, where we consider the recipient would be interested.
